The Story of The Sleeping Beauty Yeast: In June 2008, on the beautiful shores of Lake Zurich, Swiss winemakers got together to taste wines made from the almost extinct white cultivar Räuschling. The oldest of these wines dated back to the 1895 vintage! During the tasting, a prominent microbiologist, Professor Gafner, from the Agroscope- Changins Wädenswil research station was present. His curious nature led him to examine the sediment in some of the oldest bottles. Imagine the excitement when he discovered that the sediment present in a bottle from 1895 was actually Saccharomyces yeast in its dormant form! Thus, the sleeping beauty yeast was born, or rather awakened.
